BS IN CHEMISTRY, BIOCHEMISTRY OPTION
Chemistry with a Biochemistry concentration provides rigorous training with preparation for graduate study in medicine, dentistry or veterinary science.
Each year, about 20% of 草榴社区鈥檚 Chemistry graduates pursue postgraduate degrees in medical, dental or veterinary school, which require the following prerequisites for admission:
- A Bachelor's degree in any area of specialization
- One year of general biology
- Two years of chemistry (general and organic chemistry)
- One year of physics
- One year of calculus
A common misconception is that students must have a degree in biology to be considered for medical school admission. Students from all disciplines continue on to study in the allied health sciences. The Biochemistry option of the Chemistry degree is an excellent choice for students considering a career in the allied health fields.
